SketchUp enables 3D design from concept to construction using intuitive tools. It supports modeling in desktop, web, and iPad versions with options for environments, photoreal materials, and file imports like IFC and DWG. Differentiation includes web-based access requiring only a browser, generative AI for creating PBR textures, and integrations such as Extension Warehouse for over 600 extensions. LayOut provides 2D documentation from 3D models, with export formats including PDF, DWG, and STL across plans.
SketchUp uses push/pull modeling to turn simple sketches into 3D forms. It offers design tools for geometry creation, plugins to extend functionality, and cloud services to store and share projects. Both web‑based and desktop experiences are available depending on the plan.

| Go | Web + iPad modeling + cloud storage | ~$129 |
| Pro | Desktop tools + LayOut + advanced import/export | ~$399 |
| Studio | Pro + Scan Essentials + advanced workflows | ~$819 |
